Thanks for taking the time to review my profile.
I'm looking at the following PART TIME programs: Booth, Kellogg, and, as a last resort, DePaul.
Nationality: American
Gender: Female
GMAT: 660 (Q 42 , V 40) AWA 5.5
Education:
1. Bachelors of Finance from University of Illinois - Urbana (GPA 3.7)
Received three academic scholarships for exceptional real estate finance students
Work Exp:
4.5 years in commercial real estate securities, current title Senior Financial Analyst. I underwrite, finance, close and securitize commercial properties. I do not yet manage anyone, but I am a leader among the analysts - I know my supervisor would attest to the same.
Professional Licenses:
Series 7 and 63 with FINRA (registered rep licenses)
Illinois Real Estate Salesperson (a must if you work in RE)
Extra-curricular:
1. Active in a chicago area charity raising money for kidney cancer research and scholarships for RE college students (of which I was the 2006 recipient).
2. Active in Crone's and Colitis Foundation - fundraised over $1500 for a 5K run.
3. A lot of ECs from college, including the Real Estate club active member, but I'm not sure if those will count for anything, as I've been out of college for four years.
Recommendations:
1. from Vice President of company and my direct supervisor
2. from the President of company
I realize my GMAT is below average for the two target programs (Booth and Kellogg) but was wondering if I may be able to rely on my strong academics, RECs and work history (although I don't have management experience yet.)
What do you think? If need be, I can always retake the GMAT - my practice scores were ranging from 690 - 730.
Thanks!
